    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Just a little update to Rusty's update... We are now onto V3 of the CUCV HYBRID kit (those CUCVs with HMMWV crossovers) the V3 has our new hoses which are now a stainless steel braided hose with a soft rubber outer layer and a coated end as well so they will not rub into the soft metal intake...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    With all due respect, while there were/are cooling kits out there, the devil is in the details. We are the only kit that does NOT utilize the heater circuit to attempt to return coolant from the back of the block. This seemingly small difference is actually quite a large one. With the heater...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    We are not a large shop and we are OK with low production numbers so long as the product is top notch and is an improvement over what is or was out there. So far we have only done things that we found were substandard to our expectations and could be done better. I don't want to be a mass...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Many years ago there was a movement to improve cooling and reliability in race engines by not running a thermostat. The theory was that they might fail closed and kill an engine and that more flow was better. Well they quickly found that the high flow did not give the coolant sufficient...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Thank you for your input and comments. We have a patent pending so we do have some protections in place for those that want to try to copy our system. We have completed the R&D and have civilian kits shopping the first of November. In fact you can pre-order right now on our site. We have not...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    There have been several requests for an option to be made available with the kits to add an aftermarket gauge sender into the kit. Well it is now available. It can be added to any of the kits and placed in either rear block port as it sits in-line between the rear block plates and the hoses...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Sorry guys, I have been off the grid for a bit. I am a little worried that our CUCV block off plates that incorporate the sensor as well as the coolant fitting for our kits might be too tight for the available space. Now that I have established that the CUCV we used was a Frankenstein I am...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    So it looks like we have some work to do on the CUCV interm kits. The test vehicle we used was a short term loaner and as it turns out it must have been a bit of a Frankenstein truck as well because it had the glow plug switch in the rear coolant plate and not the sensor I am seeing in your...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    OK I have sent out the 90Deg fittings and each person who asked for one should have a PM from me. Anybody else that wants one that did not get a PM from please let me know. Thanks guys!

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I had a PM asking if he could order the 90 Deg fitting on his own. For the group yes you can do that but it will not be the same as the one I am providing. The only real difference is the color of the anodizing will not match. So if you want to go that route send me a PM and I can send you...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I think the best for those like you is to have me send out the 90 Deg fitting. As far as the return of the other parts go you can send them back first class mail. Should be $2-$3 at the most. I can refund that upon receipt.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    The kits are moving ahead nicely. We are expecting the CNC parts in 2 weeks which is the real hold up. I am deciding whether to anodize the adapter to match the fittings or leave it natural aluminum to match the crossover and the radiator hose flange. Everything else is basically ready except...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Anybody who wants the 90Deg fittings please send back the 'T' and the AN6 90Deg to the same address we shipped from. The 'T's are going to be ready to go out Monday.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    OK, I will order up some 90's. Anybody else want to go that route too?

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    So just to head this off at the pass here are the options if you don't have or don't want to add an overflow tank: 1. You guys can get an AN-6 Female Cap locally and simply cap the extra end of the 'T' and not use the AN-6 push lock 90Deg fitting in the kit. 2. I can send you a 90 Deg fitting...
